Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option A (Ajivikas)

मौर्य युग में गुफाओं को काटकर निवास स्थान बनाने की कला का पूर्ण विकास हुआ। अशोक तथा उसके पौत्र दशरथ के समय में बराबर तथा नागार्जुनी पहाड़ियों को काटकर आजीवक सम्प्रदाय के अनुयायियों के लिए आश्रयगृह बनाए गए थे।

The act of cutting the mountain caves and developing them as residences was fully developed during the period of Ashoka and his grandson Dasaratha. Residences were made for Ajivika followers after cutting the hills of Barabar and Nagarjuni.
